John-O, I beg you to re-listen to the fine 2-part podcast that Digitiki and myself did on the Quiet Village on James Bond...only then will you see the truth!... OK I revisted OHMSS, probably for the first time in over 30 years. Now while it didn't topple "Diamonds" as my favorite, I did enjoy the following... One of the best opening credit sequences (and score) in the series. The one-footed stunt skiing. And in an old-school leather boot no less !! The coolest thing in the film however had to be the way Telly Savalas held his cigarette. I would take up that bad habit just so I could smoke like he did :)...
